We've thought about it and will see how we can support templates in 
future Wing versions.  We'd probably add a framework through which 
templates can be supported and then ship support for some of the more 
common systems.  I don't know how well this would work for any 
particular system yet -- a lot depends on if it's possible to obtain the 
file and line number for a particular bit of python code that is executed.
